Immunology Podcast
@ImmunoPodcast
Join us as we discuss the latest immunology research, policy, and news with field experts. Brought to you by @STEMCELLTech.
We have a new episode out now! Tune in to hear Dr. Johnathan Canton (@CantonJohnathan) from @UCalgary discuss advanced microscopy techniques, mechanisms of #DendriticCell cross-presentation, and running a farm in Belize! 📍 bit.ly/3Gu9UIF
📢 You're invited to a live podcast show at #IUIS2025! Dr. Zwi Berneman from @UAntwerpen will discuss his work on mRNA-based #DendriticCell vaccines and their applications in cancer treatment. Learn more: bit.ly/46osSuH

Research from Drs. @ValentinaVenzin, @CristianBecc, and the @iannaconelab identifies the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which CD4⁺ #Tcells can restore antiviral CD8⁺ T cell function in the #liver. @NatImmunol: go.nature.com/3Ggjajr 🎧: bit.ly/3IzXLT9

🚨Today, in @NatureCancer, we show that CAR-T cells and CAR-NK cells contain the seeds of their own self-destruction. Disruption of a FAS-L/FAS circuit enhances CAR potency against liquid and solid cancers. rdcu.be/exjEy @MSKCancerCenter @parkerici @MSK_DeptOfMed
Dr. Zhixun Dou's team at @HarvardStemCell explored the mechanisms that distinguish chronic from acute inflammation. In this @Nature paper, they found that chronic inflammation is regulated by WSTF nuclear #autophagy. 📃 go.nature.com/44VoaCi 🗨️ bit.ly/3IzXLT9

New in @Cancer_Cell: Dr. Krijn Dijkstra and a team in the @QuezadaLab, Voest Lab, and @SwantonLab established patient-derived #organoids to study immune invasion in #LungCancer. 🫁 Article: bit.ly/4ltQPp2 Discussion: bit.ly/3IzXLT9




We can't wait for #IUIS2025! Learn what to expect at the meeting in this interview with Drs. Wilfried Ellmeier, Laurence Zitvogel, and Dan Littman: bit.ly/4lfLQrp @iuis_online

Frances Lund, Ph.D., was featured by @UABNews for her study “Transcription factor T-bet regulates the maintenance and differentiation potential of lymph node and lung effector memory B cell subsets,” published by @ImmunityCP Learn more: buff.ly/oT2gGOh @UABHeersink
🛡️ Drs. @_AmandaChen, Kah Min Yap, Imran House, Phillip Darcy, and @PaulBeavis4 developed #CRISPR-edited armored CAR T cells that deliver cytokines directly to tumor sites. @Nature article: go.nature.com/3I8Nk8S Discussion: bit.ly/3Gu9UIF

Congratulations to Dr. @KellenCavagnero on his team's recent @jacionline paper! 🎉 They used cutting-edge approaches to study a class of rare skin diseases. Read the article: bit.ly/44xKIKs Learn more about Dr. Cavagnero's research in this episode:…

We can't wait to see you at #IUIS2025 in Vienna! 🇦🇹 The Immunology Podcast team will be covering the science, chatting with delegates, and recording a live show. Stay tuned! @IUIS_Online

Next week's episode features Dr. Johnathan Canton (@CantonJohnathan) from @UCalgary! His lab recently identified a specialized set of proteins enabling cytosolic delivery of engulfed antigens for cross-presentation by DCs. Learn more in @SciImmunology: bit.ly/44ExZEp

🍭 A new study from Dr. Zhaoquan Wang and a team in @JustinPerryPhD's lab shows feeding pregnant and newborn mice high levels of fructose led to a decline in microglial phagocytosis. Article: go.nature.com/4l0d31h Discussion: bit.ly/40Im47m


This week: Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University showed how #Dectin1 is involved in regulating #PulmonaryFibrosis. 🫁 📎: bit.ly/4nyTzCS 🎧: bit.ly/40Im47m

A team at @PKU1898 used #cryoEM to determine how butyrophilins sense phosphoantigens and activate γδ T cell receptors. 🧾 @ImmunityCP article: bit.ly/4lvI1yG 🗨️ bit.ly/4nveJBQ

New in @CellCellPress: Drs. Michael Boucher, Hiten Madhani, and a team at @UCSF studied the phenotypic landscape of C. #neoformans to better understand how it infects mammals. 📝 - bit.ly/4nwMgfb 🎧- bit.ly/4nveJBQ
